| Additional information |
Bagis was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus almost certainly owed its existence to the political turbulence of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors — when provincial mints across Asia Minor rushed to demonstrate loyalty to whichever claimant looked most viable. The magistrate name ΔΙΟΓΕΝΟΥ preserved in the legend is one of very few named officials attested for this mint, making him a rare fixed point in an otherwise poorly documented local administrative sequence.
